Rafael Nadal is one of the greatest tennis players of all time. But his success extends beyond the court, with business interests spanning sports education, hospitality, restaurants, technology and real estate. One of his notable ventures is the Rafa Nadal Academy, which he launched in 2016 to give back to the sport. Based in Mallorca, Spain, the academy combines tennis training with education and has expanded its reach through international locations and programmes. Nine years after its launch, Nadal sold a 44.9% stake in the academy to investment firm GPF Capital. The transaction was associated with approximately €94 million in reported profits for Nadal's investment holding company, Aspemir. He retained a 55.1% stake, allowing him to maintain majority ownership of the business.
